Can the NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) run SCUM? (2026)

✅ Yes — easily

~100 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) is a mainstream 1080p card with 16GB of VRAM, and SCUM is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 100 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 101 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	101	100
1440p	60	60
4K	34	62

💡 SCUM: Unreal Engine 5 since 1.0 - dense forests make Foliage the biggest lever; very low foliage is also a PvP visibility trade-off.

At 1080p expect around 100 FPS, at 1440p about 60 FPS, and at 4K roughly 62 FPS with optimized settings. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for SCUM. SCUM doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
